The German Society of Tile Stove Makers has kindly allowed me to translate into
English an interesting article on central European tile stoves, called in German
'Kachelofen'. These are a type os stove/heater little known in English speaking
countries, but have a rich tradition in central Europe, going back to about the 15th
century - it's interesting stuff! See

I just returned from a trip to New York and, for those of you in the
area, there is a wonderful example of such a stove in the Metropolitan
Museum of Art. It's in the Medieval area in one of the reconstructed
rooms.
